The Basic Seminar in Bowen Theory is a seven-month intensive forum for learning and studying the basic ideas and concepts of Bowen family systems theory. Students may enroll for successive years if they wish. The curriculum is designed both for those new to the theory and for those who have been studying it for longer. Consistent with Bowen theory, the emphasis in the seminar is on self-learning through didactic presentations by faculty, personal reading and writing, accessing audio-visual resources, and applying the theory by studying one’s own relationship system—family, workplace, or community.

Registration: Each year the Seminar accepts between 4 and 7 learners. Those taking the Seminar for the first time will contact the course organizer ([email protected]) and request an application form from the WPFC office ([email protected] or 412-362-2295), to be completed and submitted any time before August 1, 2017. Then, after meeting with the course organizer, the nonrefundable $100 registration fee is due before August 15, 2017 to reserve a place in the Seminar. Learners who have taken the Seminar before need only pay the nonrefundable $100 registration fee by the August 15 deadline. The registration fee is applied toward tuition. Payment of the tuition balance is then arranged with the WPFC office.
